These four pictures appear to have all been taken the same day and be of the same four people. On the front of the above picture, it says "Brickie & Mabel." On the back, it says "Austin, Minn - Sunday April 27, 1919. Miss Rachel Sundby & Mrs. Mabel McGuire & Mrs. Geo King Jr."
Since Mabel is on the right in the top picture, she is apparently the woman in the dark dress that appears in all of the pictures. I am guessing, since Mabel posed alone with the only man in these pictures, that he is her husband, Mr. McGuire.
I don't know if "Brickie" in the top photo is Rachel Sundby or Mrs. George King, Jr.
But taking the information I have, I did find these people living in Austin, Minnesota in 1920:
Mabel McGuire and her husband William Eugene McGuire were living on West Maple Street in Austin when the 1920 census was taken. Mabel's maiden name was Miner. She was born about 1895 in Minnesota. In 1920, Mabel & Eugene had a 4 1/2 year old son, William E. McGuire. They were living with Mabel's parents. Eugene ran a restaurant. It appears that Mabel Miner was born 24 January 1894 in Austin. Eugene died in 1934.
Rachel Sundby was born in Goodhue, Minnesota in August 1894. She married L. Ray Probart in Austin, Minnesota on 28 December 1920. On the 1920 census, Rachel was boarding with the Kobes family and worked as the manager of a lunch room. She died 13 March 1984 in Colorado. The had at least 3 children.
Mrs. George King, Jr. is probably the Frances Minnie King, age 24 in 1920, married to George W. King. I found this couple on the census for 1920, 1930, and 1940, but with no children. If this is the correct person, Frances was born 2 January 1896 and died 24 March 1981 in Mower Co., Minnesota.
